There was a field trip to Canterlot Stadium for a baseball game happening. But, Twilight and her friends, including Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle, couldn't go. They got so depressed, they were sent home. Who can cheer them up? Maybe Lincoln Loud and his sisters can help.

TGIF? Yeah, right!

One Friday morning, some students were ready for a field trip to attend a baseball game at Canterlot stadium. Inside Principal Celestia's office, ten girls were sitting and standing with tears in their eyes.

"Oh, man!" Rainbow Dash grunted. "This stinks!"

"It sure does." Pinkie Pie sadly replied. "I feel so terrible, even a confetti cannon won't cheer me up."

"That's putting it mildly, Pinkie." Rarity said. "Look at Applejack and Apple Bloom."

Applejack sadly hugs Apple Bloom, who was crying softly. Sweetie Belle walks up to Rarity. "I don't get it." Sweetie Belle sobbed. "Why pick on the ten of us?"

"I don't know." Rarity answered.

"This is worse than when I was recovering from the Fall Formal nightmare." Sunset Shimmer added.

Fluttershy sat down and cried, being brought down so much. Scootaloo was getting so upset.

"How come we can't go to the baseball game?" Scootaloo asked angrily. "It's so not fair."

Principal Celestia entered the office to talk to the girls.

"Looks like you girls took this harshly." Celestia noticed.

"I guess so." Twilight Sparkle replied, wiping the tears from her eyes. "How come the ten of us have to suffer?"

"I'm surprised myself. Miss Harshwhinny, who organized the events at the stadium, probably learned of the faults all of you had."

"Especially me." Sunset figured.

Vice Principal Luna entered and joined the conversation. "I guess when Miss Harshwhinny learned of the field trip to the stadium, that's when she lashed out on all ten of you."

"I reckon she only wanted to think of our faults." Applejack said, trying to calm down. "What'll we do now. Detention?"

"No. That's too harsh. Especially for Sunset. She suffered enough detention already."

"Under these circumstances," Celestia suggested, "I'm allowing you ten to go home early."

"Are you sure, Principal Celestia?" Twilight wondered.

"Don't worry. The teachers here will understand our reasons."

"Well, okay. See you on Monday."

As Twilight and the other nine girls leave the office, the sisters got concerned.

"Do you have any ideas, Celestia?" Luna asked."

Celestia thought for a minute. Then, she spoke. "Yes."

The principal of Canterlot High School reached for her phone, and made a call. "Hello, Mrs. Loud. This is Principal Celestia of Canterlot High School. I wonder if you can do me a favor."

Twilight Sparkle and Lisa Loud

Saturday has arrived, and the ten friends hope to get over the nightmare from the day before. After spending time at the library, Twilight returns home to have lunch.

"Twilight," Her mother, Twilight Velvet called, "you have a visitor in your room."

"A visitor?" Twilight replied. "Who? Sunset? Fluttershy? Applejack?"

The voice of a young girl answered Twilight's question. "None of the above."

Twilight looked up at the staircase, and sees a little girl with deep brown hair, wearing glasses, and a green sweater.

"I don't believe it!" Twilight said, knowing who the girl is. "Lisa Loud!"

Twilight went upstairs and gave Lisa a big hug. Lisa soon spoke up. "Please, miss Sparkle. Easy on my ribcage."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Twilight replied, putting Lisa down. "It's just I haven't expected someone like you to show up."

"Indeed. I may be four years old. But, I have an impressive brain. Most people are surprised that someone so young can be so smart."

Twilight escorts Lisa into her bedroom. Twilight checks online for any messages from her friends as Lisa looks around her bedroom.

"I admire your book collection." Lisa praised. "You must love to read when not conducting any science experiments."

"Reading does relax me." Twilight said. "I assume that you're looking at my award case."

"I am. You must be very proud of your achievements in school."

Soon, Lisa noticed that Twilight is looking a little sad. She goes over to try to cheer her up. "Something the matter, fellow intellect?"

"Yeah." Twilight answered. "Yesterday, me and nine others were pulled out of a field trip to a baseball game. This left a bad feeling in my stomach."

Lisa hears the sorrow in her voice. "I feel your pain. So would my sister, Lynn."

"I would imagine so."

"At least you have a shoulder to cry on."

Twilight looked at Lisa, realizing she's right. "That's probably why you're here, Lisa. At least you're fascinated with science as I am."

Lisa soon looked at Twilight's laptop. "This is a very impressive laptop, Twilight. Very helpful?"

"Very much." Twilight replied. "Sometimes, I bring it with me when studying outside of home."

Soon, Twilight Velvet called out. "Twilight, Lisa, time for lunch!"

Twilight stepped outside her room. "Care to join me?"

"What's on the menu?" Lisa wondered.

"Some leftover spaghetti and meatballs from last night."

"Sounds very appetizing. Let's eat."

The two intellectuals head for the kitchen to have lunch.

Sweetie Belle and Lola Loud

In her room, Sweetie Belle laid down on her bed, crying softly. She was so hoping to catch the baseball game yesterday. That would've happened if Miss Harshwhinny didn't ruin that day.

"Sweetie Belle." Rarity called out. "May I have a word with you?"

"Coming, sis." Sweetie Belle said sadly.

The young sister of Rarity went downstairs, wondering what's going on.

"I'm going to head for the mall to try and get over this disappointment." Rarity said, presenting a piece of paper. "Meanwhile, somebody left this for you."

Rarity gives her sister the paper, and left for the mall. Sweetie Belle looked at the paper. It had a message. To Sweetie Belle. Please come to the backyard. And, try to dress fancy.

It's a good thing I have some fancy dresses in my closet. Sweetie Belle thought. But, I wonder who sent me this message.

Minutes later, Sweetie Belle entered the backyard, wearing a short sleeved red ball gown type dress with yellow stripes on the skirt. She also has on lime green shoes to complete her look. Suddenly, Sweetie Belle saw that the backyard was decorated to look like a fantasy setting. A castle back drop is set up on a fence wall, the patio table is decorated, and stars are set up everywhere.

"Nice outfit." Said the voice of a little girl. "It matches this setting."

Sweetie Belle saw a little girl with blond hair, and is wearing a pink gown, long gloves, and a tiara on her head.

"Lola Loud!" Sweetie Belle called out. "Nice to meet you."

Sweetie Belle gave a kind curtsy as Lola approaches her.

"Hi, Sweetie Belle." Lola greeted as she gives her a hug. "Thanks for coming."

"How did you get in here?" Sweetie Belle wondered.

"Your big sister, Rarity, let me in. I came a few minutes earlier, and told Rarity my plans with you. After she agreed, I decorated the backyard like a fantasy story come to life."

"That's right. You like dressing fancy, like a princess. No wonder you like to enter pageants."

"That's right. I figured you'd like some company to help you feel better."

Sweetie Belle smiled as she enjoys the atmosphere Lola created. The two girls lay down on the grass watching the clouds go by.

"It's a nice day to be outside." Lola said. "Don't you agree, Sweetie Belle."

"It sure is." Sweetie Belle replied. "But, how come you want me to dress fancy?"

"For a setting like this, you should be fancy too. Nothing wrong with two princesses enjoying each other's company."

Lola's stomach started to growl. Sweetie Belle started to chuckle. "Hungry?"

"Yeah." Lola giggled. "I didn't have much to eat for breakfast this morning."

"How about I make us some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Along with some milk to wash it down."

"Beggers can't be choosers. Why not?"

Minutes later, Sweetie and Lola are at the decorated table enjoying their lunch. Lola was very impressed with the sandwich.

"Dark chocolate peanut butter and strawberry jelly." Lola said happily. "This is a great combination."

"Thanks, Lola." Sweetie Belle happily replied as she takes a sip of milk.

Lola raises her glass. "A salute to this princess filled day."

Sweetie Belle raises her galss too. "Amen to that, my friend."

The two fancy girls continue their fun day.

Applejack and Lana Loud

It was a busy day at Sweet Apple Acres as Applejack, Granny Smith, and Big Macintosh do some repairs around the place.

"That was some storm we had yesterday." Granny Smith said as she fixes one of the carts.

"Eeyup." BIg Mac replied.

Applejack fixes the barn doors. But, she's not really into the repairs. "Probably a storm worse than when Miss Harshwhinny stopped me and my friends from going on our field trip."

Granny Smith walked over to her granddaughter. "You can't let that moment rule you forever, AJ. Besides, I hired a partner to help you out."

"A partner?" Applejack yelped. "Who's gonna help someone like me?"

"That would be me." The voice of a little girl answered.

Applejack soon saw a little girl with blond hair, wearing bib overalls and a red cap. This girl has her own tool belt with her.

"Lana Loud?" Applejack realized. "What are y'all doing here?"

"Here to help out." Lana answered. "I learned about that storm on my way here. Granny Smith told me about some of the damage, and asked me to help fix things." Lana took out a tissue and wiped tears from Applejack's eyes. "Besides, somebody has to perk you up."

The farmer girl soon showed a little smile to the visitor. "I think you're right, Lana. From what I heard, you're somewhat of an expert on fixing things."

"You got it, AJ." Lana said as she got out her hammer. "Shall we get to work?"

Applejack nodded and returned to fixing the barn door. Lana held it steady for AJ to finish the job. The two girls then fixed fence posts that go around the apple orchards.

"Good thing this fence area wasn't hit that hard." Lana figured.

"I agree." Applejack said. "Otherwise, wild animals might barge in here, and devour our apple crops."

Suddenly, they heard Granny Smith yell from the house. Applejack and Lana rushed in to see what the problem.

"I was going to the bathroom," Granny Smith explained, "but the toilet was probably clogged."

Applejack looked at the toilet. "Ew. That's nasty all right." She then rolled up her sleeves. "Hand me a plunger, and I'll get rid of that clog."

"Hold on, AJ. I have another idea." Granny Smith suggested as she turns to Lana. "Lana, I hope you brought Big Bertha with you."

Lana Loud stood up proudly. "Never leave home without her. Pardon me."

As Lana leaves, Applejack got a little confused. "Big Bertha?"

"Eeyup." Big Mac said as he joins the others. "Lana's motorized drain snake."

Lana returns, carrying her drain snake with her. "Big Bertha coming through."

After plugging the device in, Lana extends the snake, and sticks it in the toilet. She turns it on, and the motor twists the metal snake inside the toilet. After three minutes, everyone saw the water drain. Lana winds the snake up, and turns off the motor. Applejack flushes the toilet, and the water goes down normally.

"Well, what do you know?" Applejack replied. "Big Bertha comes through."

"What did I tell you?" Lana said as she picks up her device. "Excuse me while I go outside and wash the claw of my snake off."

Outside, Lana uses the hose to wash the end of her snake clean as Applejack joins her.

"I have to admit." Applejack said. "You sure were a big help fixing things around here. Including our toilet."

"Thanks, Applejack." Lana replied. "But, I fixed something just as important."

The farm girl raised an eyebrow. "What's that?"

Lana gave her a warm smile. "I fixed what's aching you. Now, you feel much better."

Applejack looked at her, and smiled. "I believe you're right."

Applejack and Lana Loud gave each other a deserved high five.

Fluttershy and Lucy Loud

View Online

In the forest near her home, Fluttershy sits under a tree admiring the atmosphere, hoping to get over what happened the day before.

The trees, the cool gentle breezes, and many animals frisking about. Fluttershy thought. At least I feel a little better.

Suddenly, the small animals started to scatter. Fluttershy got worried. "What's wrong, my friends? Why are you running away?"

"I might have something to do with that." Said the voice of a grim sounding girl.

Fluttershy turned and saw a girl with black hair draped over her eyes, and wearing a black and white outfit. Fluttershy soon realized who it is. "Lucy Loud. I didn't expect you to be somewhere like here."

"Sometimes, the quiet of a forest can be satisfying to me." Lucy explained.

The goth girl of the Loud Family walks up to the nature lover. "Hello, Fluttershy."

"Um, hello." Fluttershy nervously replied. "Did any of the animals here saw you coming and left?"

"I have that way with others on occasions. But, you didn't run."

"You maybe a scary kind of kid. But, you're not dangerous."

Lucy was satisfied with that comment. "That's good to hear."

Fluttershy continued to enjoy the forest as Lucy Loud joins her. "I just love coming here. It helps me get over any problem."

"Like what happened to you yesterday." Lucy figured. "Right?"

Fluttershy was surprised to hear Lucy say that. The goth girl gave her an explanation. "I heard about what happened to you and nine of your friends. Personally, Miss Harshwhinny scares even me."

"You get scared?" Fluttershy wondered. "That's a shock."

"Anybody like her who's super strict can scare anybody. I guess that's why you're here. Nature seems to relax you."

"That's right, Lucy." Fluttershy said. "I planned to do a little exploring. Join me?"

"I don't see why not."

The two girls explored the forest together. When they came to a lake, Fluttershy took off her shoes, and put her feet in the water. "Mmmmm. This is so refreshing."

Lucy followed her example. "This was a good call. My feet were starting to ache."

A thought came to the nature lover. "I heard that you got a set of Tarot Cards back home."

"I do." Lucy replied. "One of my haunting hobbies. Sometimes I perform seances to speak to the sprits of those who passed on."

"Do you sometimes celebrate the Day of the Dead?"

"A fascinating tradition at Mexico. Also known as Dia de los Muertos. I would like to travel to Mexico someday to experience it first hand."

Suddenly, Fluttershy grabbed her shoes, Lucy and her shoes, and ducked behind a bush. Lucy was shocked. "Any reason why you dragged me here?"

"Shh." Fluttershy whispered. "Look."

The two girls saw a skunk walking past them. Lucy felt a little relief. "That was a good call. Otherwise, we'd both be stinking worse that any of Lily's full diapers."

"Ewww." Fluttershy said. "Even I don't want to touch that."

After putting on their footwear back on, Fluttershy and Lucy continued to enjoy the forest and each other.

Apple Bloom and Lincoln Loud

View Online

In Canterlot State Park, Apple Bloom and Rumble were having a talk about the day before.

"I feel your pain, Apple Bloom." Rumble said. "Even I think it's not fair that you were ejected from that field trip."

"Darn that Harshwhinny!" Apple Bloom grunted. "She was so brutal."

"I'm sure you'll get over it." Rumble walks off. "Later, AB."

Apple Bloom sadly watches him leave. "Yeah. Later, Rumble."

The farm girl sits on the bench, still feeling upset. Soon, a young boy with white hair, and wearing an orange polo shirt and blue jeans walks up to her. "Hi, Apple Bloom."

Apple Bloom turns and sees the boy. "No way. Lincoln Loud."

"That's me. May I sit with you?"

"Sure."

Lincoln sits on the bench to keep the saddened farm girl company.

"What brings y'all here to Canterlot State Park, Lincoln?" Apple Bloom wondered.

"I heard about what happened at your school yesterday." Lincoln answered. "I can't believe that ten girls, including you, couldn't go to a baseball game."

"We were all so embarrassed." Apple Bloom started to cry. "I was so looking forward to it."

Seeing tears on Apple Bloom's face, Lincoln pulled out a tissue, and wiped her tears off. "Calm down, Apple Bloom. I don't think anybody saw that game anyway."

"What?" Apple Bloom blurted.

"That storm that Canterlot City went through cancelled the game. Wind, rain, lightning. It's like a powerful movie."

Apple Bloom was surprised. "Must've happened after the ten of us went home."

Soon, a blond haired woman wearing a red jacket pushing a baby stroller approached the two kids.

"Hi, mom." Lincoln greeted. Turns out the lady is his mother, Rita Loud.

"Hi, Lincoln." Rita replied. "Hi, Apple Bloom."

"Howdy, Mrs. Loud." Apple Bloom said. "What brings you here?"

"I was given a day off from my job at the dentist office. So, I figured that me and Lincoln can spend some quality time together."

"We don't get to do that often." Lincoln added.

Rita then told Apple Bloom something else. "Your principal, Principal Celestia, called me and told me what happened at school yesterday, Apple Bloom. You and nine others were really crushed that day."

"That's putting it mildly." Apple Bloom replied.

"So, I figured that me and my family can help perk you up."

"My mom's right." Lincoln said. "So me and my sisters went our separate ways to visit each of you guys to help you feel better." Lincoln and Apple Bloom heard a baby cooing from the stroller. "Since I'm with my mom, we had to take my littlest sister with us."

Apple Bloom looked at the baby. "Aww. Lily Loud. She looks so cute."

Suddenly, a nasty odor came from Lily's diaper, causing Apple Bloom to step back. "Whew! Smells like a full diaper."

Lincoln got a little bit annoyed until Rita pulled out a fresh diaper.

"Don't worry, Lincoln." Rita said. "I'll change her."

The kids felt relieved. Apple Bloom was looking at Lincoln with concerned eyes. "I know you change her diaper once in a while, Lincoln. But, how can ya tolerate that stench?"

"It's not easy." Lincoln confessed. "Sometimes the smell of a full diaper scares even my gothic sister, Lucy."

"Have y'all thought about investing in a gas mask?"

Lincoln was impressed that Apple Bloom made a worthy suggestion. "Not a bad idea."

The two kids chuckled as they spotted a hot dog cart.

"Lunch, Apple Bloom?" Lincoln offered.

"Sure enough." AB replied.

Rita then presented the kids a ten dollar bill. "This one's on me, kids."

"Thanks, mom." Lincoln said as he was given the money.

The two kids went to the cart for some hot dogs, continuing to enjoy their day in the park.

Rainbow Dash and Lynn Loud

View Online

At her house, Rainbow Dash is trying to blow off some steam with some soccer kicks. She was very upset for how she and her friends were ejected from the baseball game.

"Rainbow Dash," Her mother, Windy Whistles, called, "somebody is hear to see you."

"Who would want to see me, mom?" Rainbow wondered angrily.

Into the backyard steps a young girl with brown hair in a ponytail, wearing a red and white shirt, and red gym shorts. She gives the rainbow haired athlete a greeting. "Hey, Rainbow Dash. What's up?"

Rainbow soon saw who it is. "Awesome! Lynn Loud!"

Windy Whistles leaves the two girls alone. Rainbow and Lynn had a peaceful conversation.

"I heard what happened to you yesterday." Lynn said. "I feel your pain."

"I'm sure you do." Rainbow replied. "Being an athletic type yourself."

"I would be crying my eyes out if I couldn't go to a sport event after everything's already arranged. That Miss Harshwhinny sounds like a real hothead."

"That's putting it mildly, Lynn."

Lynn soon had an idea. "Hey, how about some time at the Athletic Park. Maybe some exercise there will help calm you down."

Rainbow Dash looked at Lynn for a minute. Then, gave her an answer. "That's a good idea. I can use a little workout."

The two girls high fived each other. Later, at the Athletic Park, Rainbow Dash and Lynn Loud stared jogging on a track, after five laps, taking a small break after each lap, they stopped to rest.

"And, I thought I'm in pretty good shape." Rainbow Dash said, catching her breath. "You're a pretty good runner, Lynn."

"Thanks, Dash." Lynn replied. "I guess we're both pretty even."

Good thing I put my geode in my duffel bag. Dash thought. I don't want to have an advantage. Besides, Lynn is trying to help me feel better.

At the basketball court, Lynn faces Rainbow's old rivals, Hoops, Score, and Dumbbell. She dodges Score and Dumbbell to the basket. Hoops tried to block her shot. But, she jumps and shoots. The ball went through the basket, leaving the three boys surprised.

"Man!" Dumbbell blurted. "That kid is good!"

"Tell me about it." Hoops added. "She is full of energy. Just like Rainbow Dash."

Dash comes in and applauded her. "Way to go, Lynn."

As the girls high five each other, Score approach them. "No surprise you're this good, Lynn. I heard you're good at any sports."

"Not one to brag." Lynn said. "But, Yeah."

Suddenly, soccer team captain Spitfire came out and called out to the sports girls. "Rainbow Dash! Lynn Loud!"

They came to answer the call.

"What's up, Spitfire?" Dash asked.

"Me and the others are practicing for next week's game." Spitfire answered. "Want to join us?"

"Sure. I might as well vent off some steam from yesterday."

Spitfire soon turned to the athlete of the Loud Family. "I would like it if you would join the fun, Lynn. Maybe you can display some of your skills. They might come in handy for us."

"Thanks for the invite, Captain Spitfire." Lynn replied. "Lead the way."

Rainbow Dash and Lynn followed Spitfire to the soccer area, to get some practice in. This is a day Rainbow is very happy about.

Pinkie Pie and Luan Loud

View Online

Pinkie Pie laid down on her bed. She was feeling very sad about not going to that baseball game.

"Come on, Pinkie!" Limestone said as she entered Pnkie's bedroom. "You can't mope around all day. Besides, that game was cancelled due to that freaky storm."

"That's true, sis." Pinkie said as she sat up with tears in her eyes. "It's just that Miss Harshwhinny came at me and my friends so hard, everybody must be feeling the same way I do."

"That maybe so. But, you need to get over this. Your trip to Canterlot Stadium might get rescheduled."

Suddenly, a girl with brown hair in a pony tail, and wearing a white shirt and a yellow plaided skirt walks in. She gives the Pie sisters a cheerful smile.

"Luan Loud." Pinkie said, knowing who the girl is. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to make sure you're in the pink again." The girl, Luan, answered, then chuckled a little.

Limestone leaves the room so that the two girls can be alone. Luan Loud, the comedian of the Loud family. She thought. If anyone can cheer up my sister, she can.

Pinkie still feels a little sad as Luan approaches her.

"I heard about what happened yesterday." Luan said. "You and your friends must've felt like a window after any kind of ball is thrown at it."

Pinkie was a little confused. "What do you mean?"

"Shattered."

Luan laughed at her joke. Pinkie started to smile a little. "I guess that's what your family likes about you. You always know how to throw a good punch line."

"You said it, Pinkie." Luan replied. "My punch lines are always a knock out!"

Pinkie soon chuckled, She got the joke good. "That's a good one."

"Thanks. I got a million of 'em."

Luan looked around Pinkie's room. "Nice digs, Pinkie."

"Thank you." Pinkie responded kindly. "Did you meet my family, besides my sister, Limestone?"

"You mean your parents and your younger sister, Marble? I sure did. Igneous Rock Pie and Cloudy Quartz gave me a warm greeting when I arrived. Even they know that I can help you feel better."

"Warm greeting, huh?" Pinkie wondered. "Good thing your white shirt is sleeveless. Because my dad's warm greeting would make anybody sweat."

Luan soon laughed after hearing Pinkie's comment. "That's a good one. That's the Pinkie Pie everybody is used to."

The voice of Pinkie's mother, Cloudy Quartz calls out to the girls. "Pinkie, Luan, I'm preparing sloppy joes for lunch. It will be ready in ten minutes."

"Okee dokee, mom." Pinkie answered.

"Hey, Pinkie." Luan called out with concern, standing next to Pinkie's confetti cannon. "I think there's something wrong with this thing. You better check it out."

"Something wrong with my confetti cannon?" Pinkie said with worry. "Oh no!"

Pinkie checked out her cannon. "The outside looks sturdy. Maybe I forgot to load it."

Just as Pinkie looked into the cannon, Luan pulled the trigger, and the cannon went off. Pinkie got hit with a bunch of confetti. Shaking it off, she looked at Luan, shocked that she would do that. "Wow! No wonder your family gets scared of you during April Fool's Day." Pinkie then gave Luan a big smile. "You're the queen of pranks."

Limestone came into the bedroom, hearing the cannon go off. "So, you got hit with your own confetti cannon. That must've been a blast."

Pinkie and Luan looked at each other and shared a good laugh. They both liked Limestone's pun type comment.

Sunset Shimmer and Luna Loud

View Online

Inside her apartment, Sunset Shimmer lounges on her couch watching a news report.

"The freaky weather storm that occurred yesterday did a little damage in Canterlot City." A male news reporter said. "The repairs aren't that big. But, some of the places were hit hard. Places like Canterlot Stadium, A few seats were ripped out.."

"Whoa!" Sunset blurted. "I'll bet that baseball game got cancelled because of that storm."

She soon heard a knock on the door. When the door was opened. Sunset was greeted by a short dark brown haired teenage girl with a purple shirt embroidered by a skull, lavender skirt and purple boots.

"Hey, Sunset Shimmer." The teenager greeted. "What's up?"

Sunset was surprised. "Whoa, man! Luna Loud!"

The two rocker girls embraced into a hug, happy to see each other.

"What brings you here, Luna?" Sunset asked.

"My pop brought me." Luna answered.

"Oh. You mean Lynn Loud Senior. Right?"

"She's right, Miss Shimmer." Mr. Loud said as he entered the apartment. He gives an explanation about the visit. "I'm on my way to the bank to deposit my weekly paycheck. Since I heard about your problem from yesterday, I decided to drop off Luna. This way, she can keep you company."

"Not a bad idea." Sunset figured. "I can use someone to help me out."

"See you later, girls."

Luna waved goodbye to her dad as she looks around the apartment.

"Checking the place out?" Sunset asked.

"A little." Luna answered. "Nice digs."

"Yeah, I call it home."

Luna soon saw Sunset's guitar. "Wow! I love your axe. You and the other Rainbooms must be awesome on stage."

"Thanks, Luna." Sunset replied. "As a rocker girl, you definitely appreciate the sound these guitars deliver.

"Only one thing."

Sunset raised an eyebrow. "What's that?"

Luna strapped on the guitar and started playing it. Sunset was impressed with her playing. As soon as she stopped, Luna gave Sunset a comment. "You left your amp turned on."

"Whoops!" Sunset blurted as she turned off her amp. "I was doing a little practice and forgot to turn it off after I was done. You played very good."

"Thanks, Sunset. Maybe we can jam together."

Sunset smiled, thinking that's a good idea. Minutes later, Luna watched Sunset playing on her game system.

"I'll bet my brother, Lincoln, could take you on." Luna said. "He's got a cool game system too, you know."

"Oh yeah?" Sunset said. "I'd like to visit your place and check it out."

Luna looked up at the bed on top of the stairs. "So, you sleep up there, huh?"

"You bet. That bed is very comfortable." Soon, an idea came into Sunset's thought as she turns off her game system. "How about you watch some TV while I heat up some lunch?"

"Not a bad idea." Luna answered.

Later, Luna watched a classic music video and is impressed. "Oh, man. The 1980s sure put out some masterpieces back then."

Sunset brought out a plate with two sandwiches on them.

"What's on the plate?" Luna wondered.

"BBQ rib sandwich for you, peanut butter and jelly for me." Sunset answered. "May I join you for lunch?”

Luna took the BBQ rib sandwich and took a bite. "Mmmmm. This rocks!"

Sunset sits next to Luna and sees the music videos. "Classic music videos of the eighties, eh?"

"Yep." Luna responded. "Great video masterpieces."

Sunset and Luna continue to watch the videos and enjoy their lunch. This was a great day for both of them.

Rarity and Leni Loud

View Online

Inside the mall, Rarity sits on a chair, looking around. She watches people going in and out of stores. Somehow, she's a little reluctant to go into any store.

"Rarity." The voice of a young woman called out. "This isn't like you."

The fashionista soon saw a young woman with blond hair and wearing a light teal dress standing next to her.

"You don't usually mope around." The young woman continued. "You're usually walking around this place, seeing if there's any bargains to be interested in."

After wiping the tears from her eyes, Rarity soon recognized the girl. "Leni Loud. You're a sight for sore eyes."

Rarity and Leni hugged each other. Leni saw that Rarity is still tearing up, messing up her mascara. "And you are a sorry sight."

"Sorry, darling." Rarity replied. "I'm still trying to get over what happened to me yesterday."

"You mean not going to a baseball game?"

"That's right."

Leni had Rarity stand up. "I admit, I'm not the sharpest tool in the toolbox. But, even I think that was not fair for you and nine of your friends, including your little sister."

"I suppose that's true." Rarity said. "But, about fifteen minutes after we left for home, a nasty storm arrived. We were in our homes when the rain started."

"Hmm. Maybe your field trip might be rescheduled. This is because I think that yesterday's trip was cancelled due to inclimate weather."

"Maybe you're right, darling."

Soon, Leni had an idea as she wipes the messed up mascara off Rarity's face. "Since we're in a mall, how about a little shopping."

"I was planning to use my money to buy souveniers at the stadium." Rarity said. "But, I think you maybe on to something."

Soon, the two fashion girls find themselves at an outdoors store.

"My friend, Applejack would feel at home here." Rarity figured. "Tents, kayaks, halogen lanterns, camping stuff, and appropriate clothing." Soon, something caught Rarity's eye. "Like those bib overalls over there."

Rarity saw a pair of bib overalls in the woman's clothing area. Leni was a little unsure about her decision. "I don't know, Rarity. I heard that you wouldn't be caught dead wearing something like that."

"I know what you're talking about. But, I got over that particular moment. Besides, I think they look very nice. Not fancy. But, very comfortable."

Minutes later, Rarity stepped out of a dressng room wearing the overalls.

"Wow!" Leni gulped. "That's an interesting look."

"Thank you." Rarity replied happily. "This garment is not that bad at all. I think Applejack will be surprised to see me wearing this."

Later, after Rarity paid for the overalls, she and Leni sat down to have some Chinese food at the food court.

"Leni," Rarity said to her companion, "this is the beginning of a fashionable friendship."

Leni smiled and agreed with Rarity. "I'm with you, Rarity, darling."

Scootaloo and Lori Loud

In a nice neighborhood, a car drives into town, and stops by a nice looking house. Scootaloo gets out of the car and waves goodbye to the car. "Thanks for the lift."

The car drives away, as Scootaloo looks at the house.

It was nice of Aunt Holiday and Aunt Lofty to give me a ride. Scootaloo thought. But, why come to this particular house?

The door opened, and out stepped a blond haired young lady wearing a sky blue tank top and teal shorts. She greeted the visitor. "Hi, Scootaloo. Nice of you to come over."

Scootaloo's eyes widened when she knew who it was. "I don't believe it. Lori Loud!"

Scootaloo went up the stairs and gave Lori a hug.

"Nice to see you, Scootaloo." Lori said.

"Am I spending time with you?" Scootaloo asked.

"You sure are. Come in."

The two girls eneterd the house. Inside, Scootaloo is impressed. "I love this place. I can't believe you and ten other kids live here."

"Believe it." Lori informed. "One boy and ten girls, including me."

"So, how come I'm being with you for a while?"

Lori and Scootaloo sit on a couch as Lori gives an explanation. "My mother received a call from Principal Celestia yesterday. She told her about what happened to you and nine others."

"No way?" Scootaloo yelped. "I didn't know Principal Celestia knew your mom."

"Small world, isn't it? So, mom suggested that all of us go separate ways to cheer the ten of you up. Make you guys feel better."

"Sounds good to me."

"I'll give you a tour of our rooms upstairs."

On the upper level, Lori shows Scootaloo the bedrooms.

"This room near the bathroom," Lori said, "is occupied my me and Leni, who is at the mall cheering up Rarity."

Scootaloo looked at another room, and saw something of an entertainment room.

"Rock posters, a guitar amp, and a ventriloquist dummy on the dresser." Scootaloo said as she looks around. "This room must belong to Luna and Luan."

"That's right." Lori replied. "Currently, Luna is rocking out with Sunset Shimmer and Luan is cheering up Pinkie Pie."

Looking into another room, Scoots sees one area in black and there's also sports equipment around. "I'm guessing Lucy and Lynn occupy this room."

Lori nodded. "You go it, Scootaloo. Lucy is hanging out with Fluttershy and Lynn is having sports fun with Rainbow Dash."

Scootaloo looks at another room. "By the looks of this room, it belongs to Lola and Lana."

"How right you are." Lori said. "Right now, Lana is helping Applejack at Sweet Apple Acres and Lola is playing dress up with Sweetie Belle."

Scootaloo smiled about Sweetie Belle having Lola for company as she looks at a bedroom with a video game system. "This room must belong to the brother of the family, Lincoln."

Lori agreed. "That's right. He's at a park spending time with Apple Bloom. Mom and the baby of our family, Lily, are there too."

"That leaves," Scootaloo figured while looking at a room filled with science stuff and lab equipment, "the intellectual of your family, Lisa. Who, I think, is with Twilight Sparkle."

"You got it. Those two super brains can get along."

Minutes later, Scootaloo and Lori are in the kitchen eating single serve pizzas.

"Thanks for the good time," Scootaloo praised, "and the lunch."

"You're welcome." Lori said. She went over to Scootaloo and gave her a hug. "I'm glad you feel much better."

Rainbow Dash's best admirer don't usually like a hug. But in this case, she makes an exception.

New Week, New Hope

Monday comes, and Mr. Cranky Doodle makes an announcement. "Because Friday's field trip got cancelled due to that storm, it will be rescheduled for this Friday coming up."

Everybody was happy as the bell rings, ending school for the day. The students left the building, relieved that the day is over. In another part of town, Miss Harshwhinny is deep in thought, thinking something's not right.

I don't get it. She thought. After what I've done to them on Friday, those ten girls would still be so upset, they would still be crying. Now, they're not upset. It's as if a large weight is lifted off their shoulders. It doesn't make sense. Suddenly, she thought of something. "I wonder if somebody helped Twilight, Sunset, and those other girls get over what I did to them."

Just then, she was approached by Lincoln Loud and his ten sisters, with Leni holding Lily. Lincoln spoke up. "Well, Miss Harshwhinny. It's a possibility."

Lola went up to give Miss Harshwhinny a kiss. Then, all eleven Loud kids walked away laughing as Miss Harshwhinny wiped off the kiss from her cheek. "Yuck!"
